Have you actually done this, and made it work? If so, I'd be interested to know what permissions you used - and on which directories - as my experience is that this can't be done. A process has to be able to read / and /home in order to get to /home/users, which means they can get to anything in / and /home. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
